HTC Explorer review

Updated Far from the grandest handset on the market, the hardwearing HTC Explorer is a strong performer on the entry-level smartphone scene.

Fluid user interface ; Sturdy construction ; Strong web browser ; Responsive display

Low quality 3.15MP camera ; Small, grainy screen ; Occasional lag ; No boxed headphones

HTC Explorer review

Android is a mobile OS that clearly appeals to geeks. And its appeal to those who like flexible, powerful phones that have a great selection of games and apps is clear too. But where does that leave the person on the street? The normal Joe, the man or...

Cheap, small, clear calls, great for occasional users, good battery life

Screen is a little too small, screen looks bad with moving content

A great little phone that will appeal to exactly the people it should; occasional users who want a smartphone for a smattering of surfing and email, but nothing more

First Look: HTC Radar review

Windows Phone 7 Mango is here and that means a selection of new smartphones to choose from. The new version of the OS is aimed at users who are either upgrading from the first batch of 2010 handsets, or moving over to the platform for the first time.

DLNA, crisp Super LCD screen, good design

Same processor as last year, no Dr Dre Beats Audio, no NFC, not much storage

Good, but not amazing

HTC Salsa review

Facebook isn't something new to mobile phones. There is an app for pretty much every phone platform, as well as a good working mobile site. Some might question whether you need a Facebook-specific mobile phone when the existing provision is already...

HTC Sense offers a great experience with added Facebook convenience, a slick affordable up-to-date Android phone

Exterior design lacks cohesion, multiple routes to Facebook shortcuts can be a little confusing

We’re not sold on the weird split colouring on the back panel, but otherwise, whether you're a Facebook fan or not, the HTC Salsa is a great little phone

HTC Smart Mobile Phone

HTC's Smart is not the smartest smart phone out there.

Smart' looking device, well designed; Audio clarity for calls and music is good; Camera is quite decent

Lacks Wi-Fi for the price; Battery life could have been better; No Google Maps or chat apps preloaded

HTC Smart review

The HTC Smart has landed with O2 as an exclusive handset in the UK. At the press launch at Mobile World Congress, we were on hand to witness all those involved extol its virtues as an affordable smartphone. But does it fulfil this remit? Does the Smart...

Design, build, Sense looks great, affordable

Keyboard experience isn't great, closed system, low res, low power

As a package it offers a neat range of features unique at this price point, but the touch response makes it difficult for us to fully stand behind

HTC Tattoo review

HTC has played the biggest part in bringing Android to the masses. If you want a new operating system to take off, you need to gain some degree of market base, which is why the HTC Tattoo is exciting. Like the Huawei's T-Mobile Pulse, the HTC Tattoo is...

Affordable, compact, HTC Sense, full tech spec sheet

Marketplace currently a little sparse, resistive touchscreen downgrades the experience, onscreen keyboard a little too small

If you are looking for an affordable and friendly entry to the Android world then the HTC Tattoo is worthy of consideration, but if you can stretch to the Hero, you'll get so much more out of it

HTC Touch

You will love the new Windows Media 6, but will hate the machine its on.

Windows mobile 6 does have something new, Looks good

Slow Interface, TouchFLO not very responsive, Messaging a problem, NO flash on camera

The phone is supposed to give you approximately 5 hours of talktime according to the manual. But it manages only 2 1/2. This is bad considering it's a business phone. However, you can reduce the backlight and save some battery. It's a well known fact...

HTC Touch mobile phone review

Live in the UK and can't wait for the iPhone to come out later this year? No problem, HTC has announced its answer to the Apple phone even though, according to its President, he's never seen it. Two years in the making, rather than just the 6 months...

Touchscreen, interface, Wi-Fi

No 3G, on-screen QWERTY keyboard small

A good strong offering from HTC and one that will certainly give Apple a run for its money
